I bought my Nighthawk AC1900 Smart Wifi Router in 2017. I see that Netgear no longer makes this model. Is my router still keeping my devices safe from hackers? Or is it time for me to buy a new one? If so, what model do I want?

Yes, model is R7000. I bought it in 2017. Is it out of date? Does it still protect my devices from hackers, or should I buy a newer model?

The router is just one of the things that stands between you and the naughty people.
You also need to think about your PCs, mobile devices and other stuff.
The biggest threat is when someone on the network does something that no router can detect, like opening an email attachment from the KGB or some other evildoer.
